The first month of 2024 has almost passed! Here at the Boerma Instituut we’ve already made a good start!
This year we’ve planned many handtied bouquet courses! Because of that, there should always be at least one date that fits your schedule!

Handtied Bouquets Level 3

Would you like to learn even more? We won’t stop you! As a matter of fact, we have even more in store for you!
There are inumerable styles of handtied bouquets, only your creativity is the limit.
The Level 3 is actually more of a Level 2+, this means that the bouquets aren’t necessery more difficult to make, but they are just more variations.

We organise this Level two times per year:
– June, Monday 26th & Friday 27th.
– December, Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th. During this class we will work with Christmas materials.
